Now available in Polish, Korean, and Russian, this indispensable guide helps readers understand and navigate the complexities of interacting with difficult personalities. We all encounter individuals who frustrate or hurt us, such as workplace bullies or those with anxious tendencies. Authors Dr. Helen McGrath, a clinical psychologist, and Hazel Edwards, a professional writer, provide a practical approach to managing these challenging behaviors, both in others and ourselves. Using the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) as a foundation, the book outlines over a dozen personality traits and types, detailing their characteristics and motivations. It offers effective strategies for addressing difficult behavior, including anger and conflict management, optimism and assertion training, rational and empathic thinking, and self-reflection. Additionally, readers will find valuable insights on making tough decisions and maintaining healthy romantic relationships. This guide is perfect for anyone who has wished for a handbook to better understand the personality differences that often hinder cooperation at work and harmony at home.
